A third expressed, “All I could think of was ‘Idefix’, the German/French name for Dogmatix, the dog from the Asterix comics,” while a fourth commented, “I’m also a software engineer, and I scanned X (which I think is the least common) and then lined it up with I and E, which are in the middle of the word, limiting the direction you can go towards the edge of the grid.
